Review summary

Overall we had a great time...but some things made it so that it wasn't as fun. The elevator times were so ridiculous, when it's faster to walk up 8 flights of stairs, that's ridiculous. The food closing so early aside from only pizza was not fun, that really was a buzz kill and same with the food being so not great...aside from dining room and even there it was good but not great food. Service was great, ship was clean, etc. the worlds largest cruise ship meant not more entertainment, just more people. It never felt crowded, they just didn't add more to the ship, just the people.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy process and way faster than we were expecting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining rooms food was not terrible, some was actually good. Not enough selection of apps or desserts. Buffet food was not good. It's edible, but not something you would ever need to eat again. Waffles were always hard no matter how early you arrived, food had very little flavor...the Mexican food was good though! The fact that the buffets closed so early made it a not so pleasant experience.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I would say 3.5...pools were nice...but so freaking small for that amount of people and the fact that the kid pool closed at 6pm and didn't open until 10am was absolutely boring. They had some fun things, but really lacked in having activities for that amount of people.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The show INTENSE was incredible and I would hands down go and see that again, I didn't get to see a lot of the other shows, but the entertainment that we did see was all just fine.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

The kiddie camp was so incredibly boring, there just wasn't much to entertain them and I didn't love that if there were younger siblings by just a little bit they couldn't hang out at all and that also made it not so fun. There was dodgeball, coloring, a movie and a game or two. Thats it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our server Zainur and our room steward Heather were incredible. Everyone was great!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ships layout was just silly, a lot of wasted space, but absolutely clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

I would give this a 5 had our bathroom not flooded every single time someone would shower, not matter what. Clean cabin, bed was absolutely great and there was a good amount of space!
